Hi there on the list I'm having problems getting my Samba working. I have Suse 9.1 pro. When I click on the Windows Network icon under Network Browsing I get the message "Unable to find any workgroups in your local network." I have tried the German Diagnose page at http://samba.sernet.de/diagnosis.html and testpam and ping work ok but when I try smbclient -L papa I get the message "Connection to papa failed" Looking for the problem it is stated that the "inetd.conf" could be faulty I am unable to locate this file (either by hand or with the search function) I have also tried to use GUI's with both Webmin and SWAT I get the message "the connection was refused" What I find interesting is when I check the KDE System Gaurd I find two instances of smbd one at PID 6294 and one at PID 6317 papa@linux:~> cd /etc/samba papa@linux:/etc/samba> testparm smb.conf Load smb config files from smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[profiles]" Processing section "[users]" Processing section "[groups]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[print$]" Processing section "[tmp]" Loaded services file OK.
